What is Pastoral Care? It's a form of emotional, social, and spiritual support that can be found in all cultures, traditions and religions. From offering a listening ear, a comforting hand, to praying together, our Pastoral Care Team share God's love in action, word and deed.

If you would like to have a visit, or know someone else who might like a visit, please call the church office to make a request and it will be passed on to the team.
